Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between ultrasound estimation of bladder weight (UEBW), symptoms and urodynamic diagnosis.

Methods: Women with lower urinary tract symptoms underwent urodynamics studies and measurement of UEBW at a fixed bladder volume.

Results: Women with overactive bladder symptoms had a median UEBW of 48.3 g (95% CI 44-52), with stress urinary incontinence a median UEBW of 35.1 g (95% CI 30-41) and with mixed urinary incontinence a median UEBW of 40.0 g (95% CI 37-43) (p<0.001). Women with detrusor overactivity had a median UEBW of 48.0 g (95% CI 46-51), with urodynamic stress incontinence a median UEBW of 30 g (95% CI 29-31) and detrusor overactivity and urodynamic stress incontinence a median UEBW of 37.3 g (95% CI 33-41) (p<0.001).

Conclusions: UEBW is higher in women with overactive bladder and detrusor overactivity. UEBW may be a useful tool in women with lower urinary tract symptoms.

超声估计膀胱重量是评估患者下尿路症状的有用工具吗?

前言和假设:本研究的目的是评估超声膀胱重量(UEBW)、症状和尿动力学诊断之间的关系。方法:对有下尿路症状的女性进行尿动力学研究，并在固定膀胱容量下测量UEBW。结果:膀胱过度活动症状的女性UEBW中位数为48.3 g (95% CI 44-52)，压力性尿失禁的UEBW中位数为35.1 g (95% CI 30-41)，混合性尿失禁的UEBW中位数为40.0 g (95% CI 37-43)(结论:膀胱过度活动和逼尿肌过度活动的女性UEBW更高。对于有下尿路症状的女性，UEBW可能是一个有用的工具。
